The Schwalbe Thunder Burt is built for one purpose — pure speed on dry, fast terrain. Designed as the ultimate race tire for cross-country riders, it delivers the lowest rolling resistance in Schwalbe’s MTB lineup while still offering enough grip for confident cornering and braking when the trail gets sketchy.
Its tread combines ultra-low-profile center knobs for maximum acceleration and speed with aggressive outer lugs that provide stability and control through turns. The result is a tire that rolls like a slick but grips like a trail tire when pushed to the edge.
The Super Race construction ensures a supple, lightweight feel and exceptional traction on rough ground, while the Addix Speed compound keeps rolling resistance to a minimum — making it a favorite among marathon and XC racers chasing every second.
